Educational signage and drinking water fountain for the new all inclusive park ‘Preston’s playground’ adjacent to the Newark reservoir. Newark residents rely on clean water from the Newark reservoir, yet many aren't aware that the White Clay Creek is the source of that drinking water. This is an effort to make that connection real.

Potential projects:

Expand bacteria sampling and microbial source tracking to the White Clay main stem within the City of Newark to help the City with is MS4 Program and Bacteria TMDL requirements.

Contribute to a ‘freshwater mussel bank’. We already know freshwater mussels can survive in the White Clay based on preliminary research. Funding is currently being set a side for the purchase of mussel stock when the opportunity arrises to rebuild freshwater mussels beds in White Clay Creek.

Benthic studies - There is limited data on benthic populations in the Delaware portion of the White Clay. Options are being explored to conduct more research.
